Meanwhile, Wagner writes, “The great cannabis debate has reached a turning point as the three licenses to operate retail cannabis within the city limits have finally been issued.” Of the six locations being considered, State Street was a major hot button and received the most push back from the community, she wrote.

Another attraction coming soon is the Santa Barbara Night Market. “This European-style Christmas Night Market will occupy the Macy’s building at 701 State St. from Nov. 23, and every evening through Jan. 6., Wagner wrote. “Exhibition space is being filled by ‘the best products the Central Coast has to offer,'” according to its website.
